CDs

The repertoire of the Edmonton Swiss Men’s Choir ranges from folksongs and classical works to contemporary compositions, some of which have been written especially for ESMC. The choir sings in the four national languages of Switzerland (Swiss German, French, Italian and Romansch) as well as in English and occasionally in Ukrainian or other languages.

A good representation of this broad repertoire can be found on ESMC’s recordings, My Heimet (1992), Kamerade (1997) and Viva! (2005). Our Christmas CD Heilige Nacht is now available (August 2008). The recordings are available for purchase.
